Israel must remain because any sort of stability in that area is better than none at all.
Secondly Palestine has never existed, this is Israeli land from 1000's of years ago, not to mention the Biblical aspect that this land was given by God to Abraham

People here suffer from memory loss. Or a serious brain disorder that prevents them from recalling past events that led to certain responses. Gaza keeps shooting rockets into Israels southern towns and cities, injuring many and damaging infrastructure. What are they supposed to do!!!!???? Just twiddle their thumbs and make cotton candy?? What would you do?? The Israel hatred at this website is deplorable.
In Summary:
Ham.
Canaan.
Abraham/Lot.
Israel.
Assyria.
Egypt.
Canaanites (again).
Israelites.
Judah.
Babylon.
Persia.
Greece.
Rome.
Saladin.
Ottomans.
Palestinians.
Judah (again, present).
All of these nations of people have layed claim to the piece of land currently called Israel. Only the present claim is enforced by international law. Therefore it is the land called Israel under the possession of the children of Judah, possession is 90% of the law.

Why would you believe that? Are you a Jew?

Israel is not the problem. Refusing to accept Israel's right to exist however is the problem.
You both left out the part where Syria fired into Israel first...
Iran doesn't even make the top 12 with their 8756 Jews...
If Israel wanted to commit genocide, they could EASILY do it.
And for those that try to downplay the danger of rockets coming out of Gaza, let me relay my personal experiences with them.... Not too long after that, a couple of women were driving in a car and hit by a rocket - both dead.
Imagine these events relocated to some US border town - What would you do if your neighbors were tossing 100lbs of explosives in your general direction?
Nazi's were a military target, not the innocent civilians that Hamas targets. If Hamas wants to claim the title of freedom fighter, then they need to stop targeting innocent civilians
But then there's that pesky little detail of how they came to power - shooting their political opponents in the legs and throwing them off the nearest building. "If you don't support us, this is what happens to you". Bet you didn't hear about that in the MSM.
.
Most of the Arab world doesn't really care about the Palestinians. If they did, why don't they say, "Come to my country brother, we'll take you in"? There are close to 1 billion Muslims living in Middle Eastern countries - they could easily absorb the 2 - 4 million Palestinians (Gaza and West Bank combined)

In my opinion, Israel has shown great restraint, and has basically asked to be just left alone
